Wurrr Pr, Y Y Dec

WHITE PLAINS. \. l., Dec. :.
Mitchell Stone, leader of gang of desper-
ate horse thieves, is in Jail here awaiting
requisition from Massachusetts. He has
operated extensively in New England. He
was born in East Brookfeld Mass, twenty
six wears ago. When four years old he was
adopted by man named Bemis. He ran
away at the age of eighteen and joined a
noted horse thief named Christopher Carlis.
The two made business of stealing valuable
horses and selling them in Boston, Albany
and other cities.
Finally they stole fifteen horses in New
Hampshire aud lodged them in Carlis' sta
bles at Manchang, Mass. The officers de-
scended and captured Carlis, Stone getting
away. The stable was afterwards set on fire,
it is supposed by Mrs. Carlis, and the horses
burned, thus destroying the evidence against
Carlis. Some time afterwards they were
Joined in their work by man named Burns
now in Sing Sing.
Three years ago the trio bagged one hun
dred and thirty horses. Detectives capt
ured part of the horses with Carlis, who is
now serving a twenty years sentence in New
Hampshire. year later Palmer, Mass,
sheriff arrested Stone at Ware. While on
the way to the train Stone sprang into bug
gy between two spirited horses, and drove
off, riding forty miles before he stopped and
nearly killing the team
Since then Stone has been stealing horses
in Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Detect

PORTLAND ALMS-HOUSE.
What superintendent Randall Has te
Say About It.

Mr. r. H. Randall, superintendent of the
Portland aims s-house, was in the city last
evening. In conversation with a journal
reporter, he said
I'VE have now at the alms-house l57 in
mates. We have about 80 acres of land

nearly all the vegetables we need for our own
use"
How does the number of men compare
with the number of women?"
About two-thirds of our inmates are
male"
What departments do you have?'
well we have a hospital where there are
on the average about forty inmates. They are
visited every day by the city physician. We
also have two insane wards, one for males,
one for females. We generally have about
thirty patients

take another one home with me"
''How many buildings have your"
Quite number We have the hospital
three barns and the aims house"
Whas is your form of government"
ave have a board of twelve overseers four
of whom are elected each year"
There is an unusual appropriation of s24 =,
600 for the support of the city's poor. We
are using one and a half barrels of -four at a
baking now and when the winter is well un-
der way we shall probably use two barrels"
Being so near the Congress street sta
ton the land in the farm must be quite val
uablei"
1T is. 1t is worth fully $1,000 per acre,
and the probabilities are that the city
will soon lay it out into streets and sell it for
house lots. In fact there are already two
streets laid out on the farm
This will force you to go further out of
the city
Eyes, but it will be quite as well. The
almshouse was originally out of the city, but
the place has grown so since the first build
ings were erected that we are now right in
town"

LORD HARRINGTON
Denies that the Unionists have Deserted
the Liberal Principles.

LONDON, Dec. 8.
At the liberal unionist meeting tonight
Harrington in replying to the vote of conf
denef deniec that the unionists had deserted
the liberal principles. The unionists would
continue to act with the conservatives. 1t is
not possible to speak in too strong terms of
those who spoke of returning to the policy of
protec ton. He hoped the conservative lead
ers would weigh well the consequences be-
fore they gave succor and support to policy
which would lead to the disruption of the
unonist party. Those who advocated fair
trade must be responsible for the cOnse-
quences.
Harrington presided at the banquet this
evening. $50 members were present, in
cluding all the leading unionists. Goschen
in the course of speech said that he would
say deliberately that he did not believe there
would be advanced a single principal, execu-
tive, administrative or fiscal, which would
cause any difficulty between the conserva-
tives and dissdents.

PARIS, Dec. 8.
NJ. Goblet finds difficulty in forming a
cabinet. If foiled by refusal NJ. Ribot will
remain in the cabinet in which two portfolios
will be given to the members of the extreme
left, VI. Sigismond Lacroix and NJ. Menard
Dorian. At prolonged conference be-
tween President Goblet and Ribot, the
president supporting Goblet, no agreement
was reached.
NJ. Ricard, president of the union of the
left, joins Ribot in refusing to enter the
cabinet. Goblet regards Ricard's action
as refusal of the union of the left to CO. OPP
crate and will probably resign the task of
forming ministry. If he does VI. Rouvier
will probably be called to head the modified
cabinet.
